Default T-rex with 3000 stall ?!

Was wondering if anybody ever tried to run T-rex or similar cam on a 3200 or lower torque converter ?
Thanks

Thats kinda low for a TRex. I wouldn't wanna do one on anything lower than 3600 and thats pushing it. The problem is it will want to buck really bad at lower speeds and it won't have any power off idle it would just be much harder to drive.

I've heard don't go less than a 4000 stall with the trex...it's a pretty large cam. If you're looking for a cam that works well with a 3000ish convertor go with something with less than low 230's degrees of intake duration.

You will only have power from a low gear roll. Trust me. Big cam without proper mods is an absolute railing to drive.

trex with a low stall WILL suck man, trust me. With that small of a stall and that high revving cam it wouldnt be a good combo. people are telling you what is going to happen but if your to much of a dumbass to listen then go ahead and do it and see how much it sucks and then you will think to yourself, man i shouldve listened.
